What is a tornado diagram used for in sensitivity analysis?

  1. Predicting weather patterns

  2. Comparing relative importance of variables

  3. Assessing the damage caused by tornadoes

  4. Visualizing project timelines

The correct answer is: Comparing relative importance of variables

A tornado diagram is a type of chart used in sensitivity analysis to visualize the relative importance of variables that affect a project or outcome. It does this by comparing the potential impact of different variables on the overall outcome, with each variable represented on a bar or line in the chart. While predicting weather patterns and assessing tornado damage may be related to a tornado diagram, they are not specific purposes of it. Similarly, visualizing project timelines may involve a similar visual representation, but it does not directly pertain to sensitivity analysis. Therefore, B is the most accurate and relevant option for the question.
